A guide on Friday shared footage of a moose strolling just inches from a restroom in Grant Teton National Park and asked his Instagram followers: “Can you imagine walking out of this bathroom at this moment?”
Bo Welden was leading an excursion for Jackson Hole Eco Tour Adventures and his footage helps to illustrate that large animals can materialize just about anywhere.
Welden stated, “Turns out there are many bathrooms in both Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks BUT you might have to wait to get out of the car until a HUGE bull moose walks past first.”

The clip is reminiscent of a more dramatic (embarrassing?) situation that occurred in Yellowstone in July. In that case, the critter was a massive bison and the man hoping to exit the restroom smartly chose to hold up inside.

Both clips show that interesting animal encounters sometimes occur where you least expect them to occur.
